There are tons of cool stores to check out, and there are as many restaurants per capita [as] San Francisco, so you won’t get bored with the food.” Durango is also “a very liberal town. Many residents are, for lack of a better name, ‘old hippies.’ This makes for a small town with big dreams.” Case in point, “Durango…likes to shut down Main Street to throw random parties, so that’s right up our alley.” Students enjoy going to the downtown bars, which they describe as “chill.” “A lot of people drink, but no one judges you if you don’t (we’ll just ask you for a ride).” One main attraction of the bars is the fact that “there is great beer in Durango,” reportedly of the “fresh brewed” variety. When students get to thinking, they “think about the environment a lot. Durango is a very environmentally friendly town.”More Less
